dreameyce: I would love to foster a Bullmastiff, but there really aren't too many BM rescues close to me. I did however find a breeder in my area and will be getting into contact with them. Thank you for all the replies, I really enjoy reading this thread.

That all sounds great. Im really excited to talk to some breeders and see what they say. I was reading over a puppy questionnaire you have to answer for one breeder and it asks if you've had any previous dogs, and if so they'd like you to use the breeder or rescue as a reference. I would love to...

Great questions, and thank you for asking them. I do not own a house, I rent, but not an apartment. At the beginning of my lease I talked to the landlord about pets, and all I would need to do is contact him and we would get things squared away. My lease is up this summer and I haven't bothered...

Im glad Im hearing your stories about getting dogs at a young age. Toller_08 your post reminds me a lot about myself. I was always doing research at a young age about breeds, reading books, checking out message boards.. But my parents didn't let us get a dog until I was a bit older, not till...

Im glad someone knows what I mean haha. Oh don't worry, I don't see it as bashing whatsoever :). Yeah the BM is definitely not the easiest breed, and Ill have to do a lot more research before I make the decision on one. Thanks for the reply Dakotah, you actually gave me an idea and Im not sure...

Hows it going everyone? Haven't posted in here for awhile but the last time I did I was trying to decide on a breed that was right for me. So after some months of research I think Ive found a breed thats perfect for me, a Bullmastiff :). It will still be awhile before I actually purchase a BM...

A female Doberman wouldnt be a bad idea. My parents have a good friend who has a very nice female Doberman who always comes over to play with my parents GSD. We've known her since she was a puppy, and shes around 4 or 5 now, always been a good dog. I will have to look into them a bit more, but I...

I didnt even think about the whole dog park thing, if an APBT got into a fight he/she didnt start, they would definitely get blamed. Im just trying to look into and study as many breeds as possible so by the time I decide on a breed, Ill know he/she was the best choice I could make :)...

Thanks for the link, they actually have a Colorado Collie Club, which is great! Collies sounds like a a great breed for me. Now let me ask you all this question about one more breed, the APBT. I know they are a strong breed that need to be well socialized and trained early. And I know theyre...

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I posted a reply in here earlier, but it hasnt showed up yet, so Im not sure if this one will come up before or not. I am definitely considering a medium/large mix puppy from a shelter, and I think thats a great idea, but Id like to do my research on the...

Thanks for the replies! I think I came off wrong when I said "easy to train". My parents GSD who I helped train was and sometimes still is pretty stubborn, especially for a GSD. So Im not completely new to dogs that arent easy to train. I kind of meant I didnt want a breed like a basenji. And...

How's it going everyone? Been looking around here for awhile and finally joined. I've been thinking about getting a puppy for quite sometime now. When I lived with my parents we rescued an 18 month old stray male GSD, who only weighed 55 lbs(ribs and hips were visible), had bad habits, etc. He...
